I've always thought of myself as having wolf spirit. Friends and family have been buying me wolf related things for years. Paintings, posters, clothes, blankets, souveniers, etc.
The wolf is a social creature but also an independent spirit. He enjoys and desires the company of others, but he can do just fine on his own. A wolf is loyal, and will defend himself and his pack, but won't attack one of his own unless he feels provoked.
The wolf is a free spirit. He will follow the pack when he chooses, but isn't really a follower. He'll stick with the pack when it suits him, but he'll head off in a different direction if he feels like it. He'll lead if others want to follow him, but he doesn't really care if they do or not.
